Operating Instructions for the CAP SAN DIEGO model boat, Order No.: 2011
The full-size vessel
This is a scale model of the Cap San Diego museum ship, based on original drawings provided by the Cap
San Diego Operating Company mbH (www.capsandiego.de) In 1962 the ships of the Cap San class ushered
in the era of fast freighters with their large refrigerated holds and facilities for twelve passengers. With their
slim hulls and pronounced stem and stern rakes these ships were more reminiscent of elegant motor-yachts
than freighters, and that was why they also became known as the White Swans of the South Atlantic.
Eventually, after about 1980, the Container became the dominant means of goods transport, and the end of
the mixed cargo freighter hove into sight; one result of this development was the sale of the Cap San Diego
to Spain in 1981. Rescued from the scrapyard’s cutting torch, the ship returned to Hamburg in late 1986,
where she was completely restored to a seaworthy state. Since that time the vessel has been stationed at
the Überseebrücke in Hamburg. We strongly recommend a visit to this vessel. Further information on the
ship is also available on the Internet, e.g. at www.wikipedia.de or the website of the operating company.
The model
This boat is a member of the GRAUPNER PREMIUM line, a series of particularly high-quality ready-made
models with an unprecedented level of detailing.
The core of this high-quality model is the robust moulded GRP hull, complemented by the superstructure and
deck which are constructed from laser-cut ABS parts. Many of the small items are of metal, and almost
everything is factory-assembled. The hull, parts of the superstructure, the masts and fittings are spray-
finished using semi-matt paints, and the decals are already applied. The many details and scale fittings give
the boat an impressive scale appearance.
The large deck opening makes it a simple matter to install the RC components, and the procedure is quickly
completed. To prepare the boat for running all you have to do is install the RC components and the drive
battery, carry out a little soldering, and the model is ready for the water.
